  • 0

When I use CloudTableClient.ListTableSegmented to retrieve the tables, I get a weird behaviour when I specify the max number of results to receive. I’m using version 2.0.3 of WindowsAzure.Storage.

This help reference says if I use 0 as maxResults, ListTablesSegmented should return the maximum possible number of results, up to 5000. When I use 0 as input the method throws an exception, saying the value should be positive greater than zero, and if I use 4999 or 5000 I get a StorageException with InvalidInput as error code. Everything runs smooth if I use for example 1000, or other values.

Am I doing anything wrong or anyone knows if this is a known bug?
I didn’t find it amongst the known issues.

    There is an issue with the documentation. A single call to table service can return a maximum of 1000 entities (or tables). Please see here for more details: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windowsazure/dd179405.aspx. 5000 is applicable to blob storage (listing containers and blobs) and queues (listing queues).
